Louis Kemnitz was married to Mary Laurenson 1879 and lived in Dunedin NZ. He died 1925 Dunedin, I would estimate his birth about 1860 but have few details as to where? He had a younger brother that was born in Melbourne AUST. Louis was a chairman for the NZ Germany Society in Dunedin which makes me think that his parents and him came out from Germany, firstly to Melbourne where there was other relations and then on to NZ.

I'm trying to locate firstly, the correct Alexander Ross and wife (name unknown)from Ross-shire who had twins, the female Isabella born about 1843/4 is my great grandmother and came to NZ to marry Hector McLeod from Kilmachalmag, Ross-shire. They settled in Kartigi, North Otago. The marriage and death certs have mother unnamed.

Secondly, the male twin (name unknown) settled in Australia and had a hardware/general store at the time of WW1 near the main wharf at Sydney. My great uncle visited the family in Australia when enroute with NZ troops to war. One of their descendants was an Isabella Ross at Campbelltown still living about 1982 but would have been very elderly.
